Abstract

In this paper, we have searched the existence of the similarity solution for plane symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models in general relativity. The matter source consists of perfect fluid with proportionality relation between expansion scalar and shear scalar. For this, Lie group analysis is used to identify the generator (isovector fields) that leave the given system of PDEs (Einstein’s field equations) invariant for the models under consideration. A new class of exact solutions of Einstein’s field equation have been obtained for inhomogeneous space-time. The physical behaviors and geometric aspects of the derived models have been discussed in detail.
